The Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)/surface-grafting silica(g-SiO2) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. The isothermal crystallization behavior of PLLA/g-SiO2 nanocomposites with different content of g-SiO2 was investigated by optical depolarizer. In isothermal crystallization from melt, the induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization (95°C Tc 120°C) were affected by the crystallization temperature and the content of g-SiO2 in nanocomposites. The results showed that g-SiO2 as a kind of heterogeneous nucleating agent can reduce induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization. The thermal properties of PLLA/g-SiO2 samples were also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), The results showed that the crystalline degree of PLLA was improved as the presence of g-SiO2.

AbstractThe goal of this work was to synthesis a novel aromatic multiamide derivative based on 1H-benzotriazole (PB) as an organic nucleating agent for poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and investigate the effect of PB on the non-isothermal crystallization, melting behavior and thermal decomposition of PLLA. Here, PB was firstly synthesized through 1H-benzotriazole aceto-hydrazide and terephthaloyl chloride, then PB-nucleated PLLA was fabricated via melt-blending technology at various PB concentration from 0.5 wt% to 3 wt%. Finally, the thermal performances were evaluated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The high thermal decomposition temperature of PB indicated that PB possessed possibility as a nucleating agent for PLLA, and the non-isothermal crystallization behavior confirmed the crystallization accelerating effectiveness of PB for PLLA. Upon optimum concentration of 2 wt%, the onset crystallization temperature, the crystallization peak temperature and the non-isothermal crystallization enthalpy increased from 101.4°C, 94.5°C and 0.1 J·g-1 to 121.3°C, 115.8°C and 35.1 J·g-1, respectively. In addition, the non-isothermal crystallization behavior was also affected by the cooling rate and the final melting temperature. The melting behavior further evidenced the advanced nucleating ability of PB, and the competitive relationship between PB and the heating rate, the nuclear rate and crystal growth rate. Thermal stability measurement showed that PB with a concentration of 1 wt%–2 wt% could slightly improve the thermal stability of PLLA.

The effects of Amide type nucleating agents SX , talc and nucleating agents SX combination with talc on crystallization behavior of poly (L-lactic acid）(PLLA) were analyzed by means of Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)．The results of non-isothermal crystallization showed that SX is an efficient nucleating agent. The crystallization peak temperature and degree of crystallization of PLLA sample with 0.6 wt% SX are both higher than that of PLLA sample with 4 wt% Talc，which proved that the nucleating ability of SX is stronger．Nucleating agent SX and talc combination has obvious coordination effects, the sample of PLLA/0.2 wt % SX + 4 wt % talc has the minimal crystallization undercooling temperature, the highest crystallization peak temperature and crystallinity. Isothermal crystallization kinetics of PLA showed that when the four nucleating agents added in are all with the Avrami exponent n between 2.1-2.5, crystallization tended to be heterogeneous nucleation. When the nucleating agents added in are 0.6 wt%, the crystallization time is greatly decreased to 0.75min. Meanwhile, the PLLA crystallinity could be significantly increased by adding SX nucleating agents; besides, with the decrease of the isothermal crystallization temperature, the half crystallization time of the PLLA/0.6 wt% SX sample was decreased.

The crystallization behavior and crystalline structure of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) filled with a novel nucleating agent (TMC328), which is a kind of aromatic amide derivatives, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray (XRD). In isothermal crystallization from the melt, the present of TMC328 remarkably affected the isothermal crystalline behaviors of PLA. PLA/0.5% TMC328 sample exhibited very short crystallization half-times at 90-130 °C. Furthermore, the Avrami theory was used to describe the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PLA/TMC328 samples. It is confirmed that TMC328 showed a significant heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of PLA matrix. Moreover, XRD measurement indicates that TMC328 is a kind of α-form nucleating agent for PLA.

The effect of a nucleating agent (NT-C) on the crystallization behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was studied. The melting and crystallization behavior and spherulitic morphology of the nucleated PLA were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). It is found that the crystallization temperature and crystallinity increase, the spherulitic size decrease for the nucleated PLA. But the crystal structure of the nucleated PLA is not changed.
